Another innovation from google, the google web accelerator. Apparently it act's as a personal proxy server on your pc and then will manage your internet connection and how you browse your webpages. It has been said that people outside EU and US wont feel much of a difference. I never tried it yet i supposed some of you whos complaning the internet is slow would like to try on this.http://webaccelerator.google.com/index.html
UPDATES:
1. And to make matters worse, Google ignores the Javascript confirmations. So, if you have a “Are you sure you want to delete this?” Javascript confirmation behind that “delete” link, Google ignores it and performs the action anyway.
2. Basically they're just creating carbon copies of everything you read, every site you visit, every image you load, and storing them on their servers, under the idea that you will have a faster connection to their servers than you would to whatever website you're visiting.
3. Thanks Google, thank you very much for sharing our sensitive information with the entire Internet, without even giving warning or notice to any parties involved!
